Do you have a dimmable ballast?

If so, start at 50% with the MH, work up to 100% by 4th week...

If you already have the 2 600w bulbs no reason to purchase those LED's in my opinion, save the money for another area...

If no dimmable ballast, just start the light far enough it will not burn them, and move the light closer until the 4th week...using the hand test you should be fine, and watch the temps

For 4 autos... no need for extra lighting

:peace:
